It’s based on the program. UF has “combined” degrees, which are “4+1” programs, where some of the senior year classes (year 4) are replaced with master level classes (these classes count toward both the BS and MS degree). Both degrees are NOT awarded until the end of the 5th year. Since that’s the case, students can still get finacial aid (like Bright Futures).

She should talk with the advisor in her program. Each year is a little different with how the rules are implemented.

My son, who is also a sophomore is also thinking about a combined degree. We know BF’s will pay, but we also know that those graduate level classes cost more than undergraduate level classes, so we need to prepare for that additional cost (undergraduate cost per credit hour is $212, while it’s $530 for graduate level classes).
